Description

Promotional film for Greenhall Whitley - today known as G&J Distillers - and their Brewery and Distillery in Warrington. Views of the local transport network, maps and stills are used to explain the geographical and historical reasons for locating in Warrington. The brewery and distilllery are seen as well as the machinery and ingredients used in the production of gin and vodka. The bottling of wine is also shown as is a wine tasting session. Pubs and shops stocking Greenhall's products are featured and there is footage of a board meeting. The film closes with aerial views of the site.

This film, along with thousands of others from across the country, can also be viewed online as part of BFI: Britain on Film - player.bfi.org.uk/britain-on-film/
